[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a great conference. No schools in it that aren't at least really solid. For overall academic quality, I'd tier it out like this:

Tier 1: NU, UCLA, UMich
Tier 2: Wisconsin, Washington, USC
Tier 3: Illinois, Maryland, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Minnesota, Rutgers
Tier 4: IU, Michigan State
Tier 5: Iowa, Oregon, Nebraska

Obviously, there's a lot of variability across programs. The schools I put in Tier 3, for example, all have specific programs that clearly are first-tier.[/quote]Good list.  But you need to break out the Tier 1.  NU is way above UCLA and UMIch.  It's in a category by itself for academics when compared to BIG10 schools[/quote]It's not. Some of its programs are great, others are merely very good--just like UCLA and Michigan.[/quote]

Nope, vast majority of NU programs are better.  It's a T10 school.  UCLA and Michigan are not T10 material.  It's also a 6-7K undergrad and private school.  So obviously different than a massive state school in what it can offer.
